Two parents are facing neglect charges after police say they brought their 7-month-old to an Indianapolis bar and became intoxicated.

Michael Trosclair, 45, and Shari Treba, 42, both face felony neglect of a dependent charges, along with misdemeanor public intoxication charges, according to WISH.

The man and woman were reportedly in the area for a work conference last Friday when a witness told authorities Treba was breastfeeding her baby while drinking alcohol. Witnesses also said they saw Treba offering sex to patrons in exchange for beer.

When officers arrived around 12:30 a.m., they asked the woman why she would bring a baby to a bar. She replied that she'd come to drink with her husband and friends from work.

As police worked to contact Child Protective Services, Trosclair appeared. He was reportedly angry, demanding to speak to a lawyer and resisting as officers placed him in handcuffs.

Both parents were arrested and the infant was taken to a hospital to be examined. She was found to have no signs of intoxication or neglect.
